Grandpa Luo invited her to stay for dinner. It was just after the New Year, and there were plenty of dishes at home. Aunt Zeng was about to go into the kitchen when Chu Yu stopped her.
She had to rush back to Shanguan Village. It wouldn't be safe to walk at night if she got back late. After thinking about it for a moment, Grandpa Luo didn't stop her.
Just as Chu Yu reached the gate, she ran into Luo Kangcheng getting out of his car. Chu Yu greeted him, "Uncle Luo."
Luo Kangcheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded. "I heard from your uncle a few days ago that you were coming back. How many days will you stay this time?"
Luo Kangcheng was like a composed elder, caring about the lives of the younger generation. Due to the special nature of his work, he spoke with a certain seriousness. However, Chu Yu knew that this man had no bad intentions. When Qiu Jiadong had his accident, he was the first to rush in and did not ask any questions that he should not have asked.
He and Chu Yu have an extraordinary understanding.
"I took the train three days later and stayed for more than a week after returning."
"It's too far to come back from Beijing, it's really inconvenient. I heard from your mother that Chu Xiang is also going to take the entrance exam for a school in Beijing?"
"Yes, my sister and I have agreed that when I go back to Beijing in a few days, I plan to take Chu Chu with me. If Chu Xiang can pass the exam, the three of us sisters will stay in Beijing and bring our mother with us."
Luo Kangcheng paused for a moment, slightly surprised. "Your mother is going too? Is she planning to settle down in Beijing?"
"It's not decided yet. I want her to go and take care of Chuchu for a while. The main reason is that the three of us sisters can't live without my mother, and we don't want to leave her alone in Deyang. But my mother hasn't made up her mind yet. She's worried that she won't be used to living in Beijing. I'm trying to persuade her."
Luo Kangcheng nodded. "It's really not appropriate for your mother to be left here alone after all three of you sisters have gone."
Chu Yu could tell that Luo Kangcheng was from Secretary Zuo's faction. Although they seemed to have no connection whatsoever, and Secretary Zuo was only transferred to Deyang after Luo Kangcheng fell into a coma, Chu Yu's intuition was probably right; he and Secretary Zuo had a close relationship.
Secretary Zuo is Dai Xueyi's brother-in-law, and he has the backing of the Dai family and relies on the connections of Old Master Dai.
Luo Kangcheng had made great contributions, became a vegetable, and then miraculously woke up. Putting everything else aside, based on his contributions alone, he deserved any promotion.
Of course, it would be even better if I could be promoted to Beijing.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Uncle Luo, if there's a chance, let's meet in Beijing."
Given Luo Kangcheng's situation, he can't leave Deyang easily. What opportunities are there to meet in Beijing? Chu Yu's words were self-evident. Luo Kangcheng smiled to himself, thinking that this girl was a bit too clever.
Shu Hui is a mild-mannered, honest, and unassuming person. How could she have given birth to such a clever, beautiful, and sophisticated daughter?
"Shall I take you home?"
"Thank you, Uncle Luo. My sister is waiting for me at the department store. We'll go back together."
After saying goodbye to Luo Kangcheng, Chu Yu went to the department store to find Shu Lan, who was buying lipsticks and asked Chu Yu to give her some advice.
Which one do you think looks better?
"This dusty rose color is nice, it suits you well."
"Red bean paste color?" Shulan had never heard of such a sophisticated term.
The sales clerk was also taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Red bean paste color is quite fitting. This color complements the skin tone and isn't as eye-catching as bright red."
These days, not many people wear lipstick, and Shulan didn't have much experience either. Chuyu thought the mauve color was stylish, and when she put it on her lips, she saw that it did indeed suit her skin, so she bought one.
As soon as Chu Yu left the counter, she saw a man staring straight at her. When Chu Yu looked over, the man's eyes widened in disbelief. He looked Chu Yu up and down before frowning.
"Zhou Chuyu?"
"Who is this person?" Shulan asked.
Chu Yu didn't have a deep impression of Zhao Hanqiao, but his expressions were quite annoying, as if it were unbelievable that Chu Yu had put on a new outfit and dressed up nicely.
"A piece of trash."
Zhao Hanqiao blushed. He was the only college student in the village and was always fawned over. Xu Yiyi was gentle and always considerate of his poor family background, willing to share his hardships.
Zhou Chuyu actually called him trash! What right does she have?! Her family is so poor, where did she get the money to buy new clothes? Did she earn it by selling things at a street stall?
Individual business owners are generally looked down upon, and Zhao Hanqiao was no exception. He was a college graduate who could secure a government job right after graduation, unlike Chu Yu.
Zhao Hanqiao never expected her to have fallen so low, and with a condescending attitude, he sighed with regret:
"Chu Yu, I never thought you were this kind of person. So what if you made a little money selling things at a street stall? What's so great about that? I've said it before, only losers do street stalls. You've already given up on yourself, and now you're using this tone to belittle others. I really misjudged you before!"
Chu Yu was too lazy to waste words on such trash!
How dare Zhao Hanqiao have the nerve to argue with her and complain that her street vending is beneath her dignity?
Chu Yu almost laughed out loud. "So what if I set up a street stall? I still got into Tsinghua University while setting up a street stall, and I still trampled you, you piece of trash, under my feet! And what if I belittled you? You're getting all high and mighty just because I called you trash!"
Zhao Hanqiao shook his head with amusement. Chu Yu's words were too ignorant, as ignorant as a three-year-old child.
Is Tsinghua University a place that just anyone can get into? She can get into Tsinghua University while selling goods on the street? Does she really think all the other students are just decorations? This kind of thing only happens to geniuses. Unfortunately, Zhou Chuyu is just an average person with no experience. She's just a country bumpkin with no knowledge. What makes her so capable of talking big?
"You, you, after all these years, you're still so naive. I kindly reminded you to broaden your horizons, but you think I'm trying to harm you! Chu Yu, Chu Yu, our perspectives are already different; we're destined not to start on the same footing. If you won't listen to my advice, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Shulan was completely puzzled.
"No way, is this guy out of his mind? Doesn't he know you got into Tsinghua University..."
